Aquaponics in a cold flowing water system

West Virginia University Extension Service will hold an aquaponics workshop at Reymann Memorial Farm near Wardensville, W Va. on Friday, September 27.  The objective of this workshop is to convey a practical understanding of aquaponics and highlight a cold flowing water aquaponic demonstration system.
Farmed fish release nutrients into the water creating an opportunity for aquaponic production of plants in the water leaving the fish tank.  At Reymann Memorial Farm we have shown this approach works in a spring fed flowing water system producing trout. Most other aquaponic systems are warm water recirculating systems. Ours is a cold flow-through system.  Though nutrient concentration of the water coming from the trout raceway is quite low, a variety of cool weather plants and salad greens have grown well on rafts.
